Strike Spreads

June 14, 1985

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — Closed Thursday: Tel Aviv's gas stations and private postal agencies. Five thousand cab drivers have been on strike for a week. Behind the unrest: The government's refusal to permit price increases to offset inflation. The rate: 300 percent. The gas station shutdown was for one day. The postal agencies will be closed for three days. That is expected to have an effect in small towns and villages without government post offices.
